The FUJIFILM FinePix HS30EXR Digital Camera differs from its brothers and
sisters - namely the HS25 - because of its lithium-ion battery and RAW/RAW+JPEG
file capture. The benefits here are a long-lasting, rechargeable power source
and RAW files for the ultimate in image quality and post-production flexibility.
When you consider all the other great features of the HS30EXR, it's not only a
budget-friendly option, it's a versatile one.

Of the many other noteworthy aspects of this camera, you'll find the 24-720mm
Fujinon 30x optical zoom lens at the top of the list. This lens sports a maximum
aperture of f/2.8 and an expansive focal length range that covers everything
from 1cm Super Macro shots to extremely long telephoto ones. The impressive 30x
optical zoom is enhanced with a 60x Intelligent Digital Zoom option, which
offers an (35mm) equivalent of a 1440mm focal length. This Fujinon lens also
boasts strong construction with an 11 group / 15 element configuration, Super
EBC to reduce ghosting and the like, and more.

The HS30EXR's LCD monitor is a tilting 3.0" LCD screen with 460,000 dots of
resolution. This screen tilts both high and low for expanded flexibility when
shooting and when reviewing shots. It also provides other benefits such as
vector graphics with flash technology, an updated font display (over past
models), high contrast, and then some. To the left of the monitor you'll find
the direct shooting command buttons for quickly adjusting the most-used camera
settings.

At the heart of the camera you'll find the 16Mp BSI EXR CMOS image sensor and
its partner, the EXR processor. Together these two indispensible tools give the
camera its umph - allowing for those high-quality RAW images and 1920 x 1080 HD
video capture, not to mention fast start-ups and focusing, high-speed continuous
shooting, and more. The core of the camera also empowers EXR AUTO mode, which
take the guesswork out of shooting, automatically recognizing and optimizing
numerous settings for 103 different shooting patterns.

Features:

Manual barrel zoom: The wide-angle 24mm to 30x telephoto optical zoom
range is controlled by twisting the lens barrel, giving you speedy,
intuitive control over magnification power

Stunning Stills in Low Light: 30% less noise at ISO3200! The enhanced
performance of the new EXR CMOS sensor lets you shoot dark scenes at high
ISO sensitivity and capture them brighter, clearer and with less noise than
ever before

EXR AUTO: With the addition of Motion Detection, Intelligent Scene
Recognition technology in EXR Auto mode automatically recognizes and
optimizes white balance, focus, exposure and other settings for a total of
103 shooting patterns

Full 1080p HD Movies: With the ability to shoot full HD video (1920 x
1080p; 30fps/H.264 High Profile) with impressive stereo sound, the FinePix
HS30EXR doubles as a high-performance video camera

EXR Processor: Featuring Dual CPUs, an EXR Core and a reconfigurable
processor, the EXR Processor delivers outstanding power and speed,
performance that comes into its own in Full HD Movies, high-speed continuous
shooting, speedy auto focus and Intelligent Scene Recognition

Vector Graphics: The updated GUI (graphic user interface) incorporates
flash technology, adding an intuitive and entertaining dimension to
searching and displaying photos and accessing features. And a new font
display technology produces menus and icons that are easy on the eye

Lens Filters: The HS30EXR is compatible with genuine Fujifilm 58mm
Protector Filter PRF-58. Commercially available 58mm filters can also be
used

3D Mode (Individual Shutter 3D): Two exposures of the same scene are
saved in MPO to create convincing images that appear to have been shot in
real 3D. An overlapping guide on the LCD screen makes it easy to position
the exposures, so even a novice can create impressive 3D effects
